Captivate Modem

For anyone who is experiencing problems with their call quality on the Captivate (I897) here is a modem that works:

www.mediafire.com/?bps9bw65jno2a4o

This appears to be one of the only modems I could flash that did not sound distorted (garbled, low, static) in any manner. Only downside is that the cell signal strength is slightly weaker than the other I897 modems I tried. Sound quality is more important than cell signal strength.

I rarely get the reply that I need to search, but I'm just tired of seeing people blasted with it like a knee jerk reaction.

If someone doesn't want to give an answer, they shouldn't type one telling someone to search.

If someone feels like being helpful and cordial, they should feel free to reply. Many do that. It's the ones with the chips on their shoulders who just crab at people to search.
[Captivate Android Development] AnarchoXen:
After a few days of settling down and moving to the most recent nushor kernel, this ROM is running great. Very snappy. I still can't connect to my wifi at home, but I look more in to that this weekend.

Thanks for the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'm by know means saying it's perfect, but for this specific issues it would have worked just by the sheer numbers of the same issue. I try to help to the best of knowledge but when ppl ask the same thing 20 times you would think it would be redundant on a search is a understatement.

[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
LOL thanks, but your post doesn't say what modem this is. Also, different modems work well (or poorly) for different people, depending on their geographical location (and some other factors). For example, I'm in Canada and this modem would probably be terrible for me.

Just FYI.

Also, check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227717

It's got a link to a geographical map where people have pinned their locations and what modem works best for them there. There's also a link there to another thread that has all the modems for download.

PS I spanked your thanks button anyway, for the good effort at trying to help out.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
On the topic of modems, I had a crackly connection yesterday on JVT so I tested a handful of modems from http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

I found that I had the best UL/DL speeds with radio-cm7-ics-captivate-jhjv9-signed.zp and when I left myself a voicemail at work there was no distortion. FWIW, I didn't have a problem when I left myself a message on JVT either, so the one bad call may have just been a bad connection. But, the DL speeds on JV9 were about twice those on JVT so I kept the newer one.

Obviously modem experience seems to vary pretty widely so maybe JVT is still better for some folks, but I thought I'd share my findings.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Yeah, I think that just goes to show that it's all about finding what works. I went through countless modems before finding one that worked for me. In fact, for me, it was the modem that gave the most people the most problems - KC1. I'll never go to another modem again. It's got perfect UL/DL speeds, call quality and volume is amazing, and wifi is bulletproof. I even get HSPA in basements and mall bathrooms, LOL. Whereas for a lot of people, KC1 is almost totally unusable...

[Captivate Android Development] Xenocide83:
Actually, I am aware that different modems work differently for everyone. However, if you read my initial post about those with "sound distorted (garbled, low, static)", you would understand why I posted that specific modem. ALL of the other Captivate (I897) ICS modems were "sound distorted (garbled, low, static)". A handful of the I9000 modems were tested by me and they all still had "sound distorted (garbled, low, static)". Your geographical location does not mean anything when the actual modem is the cause of "sound distorted (garbled, low, static)". The only thing affected by your geographical location is your signal strength. ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
That's, unfortunately, entirely incorrect. There are many many modems both i897 and i9000 that don't have garbled sound. They might for you, but for others they work just fine. My KC1 is flawless for me, but I challenge you to try it, I guarantee for your phone, on your carrier, in your area, it's probably terrible.

That's why there's so many modems. If only one single modem - the one you use - had clear sound, why would anyone use anything other than that one? Lol.

Installation

Hi,

I have been trying endlessly to install this rom on my Captivate but every time I try to flash it via CWM it just says "installation aborted (bad)" Is there something I am doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
you are completely wrong. locations have more to do than just signal strength. lets not turn this into a pissing match.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
I suspect you just have a bad download. Download it again. I betcha that's the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
I guarantee it!

their server gets overloaded, drops some downloads.... happened to me. it should be... umm 167MB if memory serves me correct. my first download stopped at 145MB
[Captivate Android Development] JuiceBoxBoy:
Quick question is anyone else having problems with the capacitive buttons only working sometimes? I cleared the cache and all that stuff and it worked for a bit but eventually they just stop working and i get stuck having to reboot it again.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
LOL that's a first, actually. I hear many (LOTS) of people posting about soft buttons not working (without reading or searching the thread of course), but never "it works sometimes".

Weird...
[Captivate Android Development] drewbag:
Thanks, I have to use odin to flash back to stock to try again. I'll let you guys know if it works for me.

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] JuiceBoxBoy:
One second it works, the next nothing. Since I installed ICS today the soft buttons have only worked maybe 3 or 4 times. Is there anyway to fix it? I'm brand new too trying out this rom I was on MIUI before this so yeah lol.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
AOSP aren't roms for "new ppl". What kernel are you using? Second thought ask on Q&A. ;)

[Captivate Android Development] Xenocide83:
Not saying the modem I posted is an almighty modem that would work for anyone. I do believe that anyone experiencing the SAME issues I was with ALL of the I897 modem would probably find that the modem I posted works for them. It definitely isn't a carrier/modem issue b/c when I was on KK4 I could flash various modems and not get the garbled sound I am getting now. You can hear such loud garbling for ALL of the I897 modems. My guess is that it is the communication between the modem and the mic. Some are less than others but it definitely is not an issue that deals with geographic location. This issue stems from this ICS ROM. Not bashing the ROM, I love it... especially since I found a modem that works well with it. The KC1 probably won't work for me for a couple of reason:

1. Not a Captivate (I897) modem

2. I'm not in Canada
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Usually the static that one hears with I897 modems is due to the lack of audience chip support.

Lets stop the pissing contest.

OP updated! Added the new official ICSSGS logo that I made (top of the post) and everything is now linked back to google code (got it working again!) New build is uploaded and linked in the description, no official change log for this one but hte most notable change is a new kernel that fixes a lot of stuff and is much smoother.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Actually no it doesn't. Garbled sound is not an issue on this rom, and just about everyone who uses it, and finds the correct modem for their location and phone, doesn't have that problem. It is totally a modem issue, or it could possibly your phone itself.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Slow download speeds

I did a search and did not see anything specific but I have tried about 9 modems so far and my download speed stinks. Maybe 300-800 kbps download sometimes much slower and upload consistent at 1500 mbps which is typical of all the roms I used so I'm fine with that speed. On wifi, no download issues at all, very fast. I have tried at different times of the day and night and it never gets better. I was getting 5000-6000 kbps on my last GB i9000 rom. Anyone getting strong 3g download speeds? Not sure in this case it it's just an ICS issue or a modem issue. Everything else has been awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Thanks DW! May I ask which kernel is in the package?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
There is no 4G on our captivates. I doubt you where getting 1500mbps, I think you ment kbs. It isn't the rom, I got ~2.8-3mbs/300kbs on KH3 (what I normally got on i897 roms). I suggest keep trying modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
I'm getting some of my best speeds with this ROM and it's default modem: 2500d 1500u. I've seen huge speed drops in moving from the front door to sitting in my room,(all the time with full signal), but that's not a ROM thing. It's an AT&T thing. Make sure you're in the same environment when testing different modems and ROMs. You'd be amazed at the things in your environment that affect reception.

I can confirm on my Rogers i896 that data and wifi works out of the box on beta1. No flashing or configuring required.

The new kernel has low power level, so you can charge while the phone is off. I think that's the only change this time around, but check the changelog at ics.darkirc.me to be sure.

I think there is no harm in following these steps

- Remove battery to shutdown

- Get in Recover again (3 button)

- Delete Cache

- Reflash again

- Reboot

- Wait for good 10 minutes - It will go to normal

If still in problem start again...
